Chapter 31 Chapter 31 CASSIE I was nervous and I didnt know what to do ever since I lied that was with Jeremy . Dana refused to speak to me saying that I had to tell the truth . Although I could feel her , she didnt talk to me . Just then , I found out that my mom and Alpha Damien were back in the house hence I went to meet my mother . I felt bad for hurting her husband and now , just like Dana said , she deserved him better than me . I had done nothing to protect him , all I did was put him in trouble . Getting to her room door , I sighed before knocking and my mom asked to come in before I did . Pushing the door back , I stepped in only to find my mom brooding . She looked sad and unsettled . This was her mood whenever something bad was happening . I realized schooling here was a bad idea and staying away from the pack was better for all of us . The best way to protect Damien was to leave . Seeing the look of worry on her face made me know that she could never hurt him . Mom loved him for sure and she would protect him . Cassie , Mom called and I turned to her and wrapped my hands around her . At that moment I wished that I could tell her everything and how Jereny was messing with me . Baby , are you okay ? Mom added . Nothing , Mom , I answered gently . No , I am your mom and I can perceive when something is wrong with you . She caressed my palm and I sighed aware that she wouldnt stop until I told her what was wrong with me . I am only bothered about stepfather and I am hoping he wont be jailed . I dont want anything bad happening to him . Mom smiled gently and then moved her hand back and forth to my arm . You should know that Alpha Damien isnt any kind of Alpha . He is powerful and the most popular Alpha in the Western region so this allegation wouldnt send him to jail or ruin his reputation . What do you mean , mom ? I asked . I mean Alpha Damien wouldnt fold his hands and not find evidence to prove himself not guilty . Tomorrow , he will find the evil doer . Hence smile baby but I am glad you are worried about your stepfather . She cupped my face and I nodded gently , relief washing through me . Cassie , you really were not with Damien yesterday ? I know he doesnt lie , Alpha Damien doesnt because of his stupid Alpha ego . I find it hard to believe that he lied to me yesterday about finding you . I tensed , hearing that Mom had a doubt . Still , I had to stand on my ground . I was really with Jeremy . Are you sure or is there something you are hiding from me ? She asked and I tensed up again but I hid my tension from her knowing she was very smart . She could sense my feelings . Mom , I am not hiding anything . I just came here to check if you were okay , I need to go back to reading . With this , I excused myself after kissing her on the cheek . Stepping out , one of the maids came to me . You are searching for Jeremy right ? Come let me take you to where he is , she said and held my hand Did I look like I was searching for him ? 1/3 16:56 Fri , Jan Chapter 31 Q 62 % She walked through the back and entered the bush . I heard growling and when I came to a clearing , I saw Damiens wolf on top of Jeremy who had the most innocent look on his face . Damiens wolf was growling wildly at him and then he took his paw to his face and it looked like he was going to smash his head . Jeremy was petite compared to Damiens huge wolf . Fear gripped me and my eyes went wide with terror . I had once heard that whenever bigger wolves felt threatened by smaller wolves they hurt them . Instantly I shouted Damiens name Hoping it would help him get back to his senses . I was disappointed with Damien and his wolf . Even if Jeremy was in the wrong , he should never have tried to hurt him . Jeremy said he loved me and this was why he protected me from the police , saying I was with him last night instead of with Damien . Finally , Damiens wolf let Jeremy go without smashing his head to the ground . I turned back , walking away from the sceneand I felt Jeremy coming after me . Babe , wait for me , Jeremy called . Just as Jeremy met up with me on the porch , and we both walked toward the door , my phone rang . I instantly made an excuse to pick up the call . The person on the other end introduced herself as a representative from the pack college . They said they were happy that I was transferring to the school . We have started with the process and we are glad to inform you that you can resume whenever you want . I was confused and didnt pick up until the end of the call . How did Mom start this without asking me ? Anger rolled through me and I walked back to the front porch but before I reached Jeremy , I saw him and the maid that had dragged me to where he was earlier talking . The plan is as successful as you wanted it right ? I called her at the exact time that you had told me to . I pinched my brows wondering what plan they were speaking about . It better not be what I was thinking about . I walked up to them and instantly demanded an explanation . The maid was shaken when she heard me speak behind her and she moved to the side of Jeremy as if seeking protection . Start speaking or you will lose your job today ! The maid trembled and she raised her hand and directed her middle finger to Jeremy accusingly . Leave ! I boomed , my eyes on Jeremy who didnt look guilty . He had a neutral face like I hadnt caught him just now . Alpha you presence which Yes , everything you saw was a game . I wanted you to reject Damien and choose me for his Damiens wolf was only angry because I contended with him and dared him which you know every Alpha couldnt control as they were born superior . My body trembled and I felt a tick in my belly . The urge to slap him for deceiving and playing with my feelings settled within me but I didnt execute it . Instead , I walked away from him and headed to the kitchen where I let out my full annoyance . The look on Jeremys face added to my anger . He didnt look guilty rather he relished in his bad behaviors . I grabbed the knife and a cucumber and started to chop away , badly without control or rhythm . I let out my anger with it and I didnt even notice when someone walked up to me . The cucumber will never come to this house in its next life if it ever lives , Granny Sophia uttered next to me , and I almost chuckled at her joke but I was too angry to do so . I dropped the knife next to the battered cucumber and greeted her before trying to exit the room . However , she held my hand and stopped me . You dont look good , she said . I am fine , just a headache . 16:56 Fri , Jan 10 Chapter 31 62 % You dont know how to lie and I am more than three decades older than you so you should know I know better . Tell me what is wrong . You cannot ruin my cucumber for nothing . She dashed her teeth which I thought was too perfect for her age . I sighed . Can I ask a question instead ? I asked and she nodded , her eyes oft and her gaze sweet . If you accuse someone wrongly , thinking they did something but later find out they didnt , what do you do ? I asked . She squinted her eyes and moaned a sigh before smiling softly . Then she held my palm and it felt like my grandmother was holding me . She didnt hold any judgement which made me relax under her touch . You apologize , a sincere apology can go a long way , she said softly and her voice made me feel like I was living on a farm with nothing to worry about . You really think that will work ? I asked and she nodded softly with a natural smile . A kind of smile that wasnt forced or filtered . I nodded with a smile , feeling a little relief . I didnt know why I believed in her words . Thank you , grandma . I smiled and hugged her gently before walking to exit the kitchen . I paused at the door entrance and looked at the cucumber I had assailed . Sorry about that , I whispered and she chuckled waving me off before I left the kitchen completely .
